  • Issue with multiple addresses/akas

    From CyberNix@2:250/7 to All on Mon Sep 30 12:56:30 2024
    Hi all,

    I have the following defined in golded.cfg:

    ADDRESS 21:4/145.2 ;fsxnet
    ADDRESS 2:250/7.2 ;fidonet

    I've also tried with the second line to be AKA instead of ADDRESS.

    When creating a netmail, it defaults to sending from 21:4/145.2 which is fine.

    The issue is when changing the from field to be from node 2:250/7.2, it automatically changes back to send from 21:4/145.2. So how can I send from my 2:250/7.2 address? Am I doing something wrong here?

    Thanks for the help!

    You can do couple of things here. One - switch current AKA in area before creating new message (Ctrl+A by default). Second - enable automatic AKA matching (AKAMATCH in config).
